The fat man suddenly lifted his head and said one word,
“Hungry…”
His eyes stared straight at Wan Lei, his gaze pitiful and innocent.
The fact that he could stare at Wan Lei meant he had seen Wan Lei taking out food from the sky during the earlier fight.
Well, this fellow wasn't mute, he only spoke when he saw food.
Wan Lei tentatively took out a large handful of vegetables and threw them into the bronze pot. The fat man didn’t wait for the vegetables to cook, he directly scooped them up and stuffed them into his mouth.
Squirrel and Xia Yubing were also tired from fighting and stopped, panting, their eyes looking at the fat man with hostility.
The fat man had no awareness of being an outsider. Instead, he felt that they had become acquainted through fighting. Since they were all good friends, it should be fine to sit down and eat together.
Wan Qianxin exchanged a suspicious glance with Wan Lei. Both saw a flicker of wisdom in each other’s eyes.
This person seemed like an idiot, easy to handle.
However, before handling him, Wan Lei wanted to understand what was going on with the guy.
Soon, the vegetables in the pot were finished again. The fat man lifted his head, looking at Wan Lei pitifully.
Wan Lei suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if it were a heinous crime not to give the other person food.
But immediately, Wan Lei shook off that thought.
Hey, you’re even trying to guilt-trip me.
“Hungry…”
“Still want to eat?”
“Eat.”
“Alright, one question for one dish, how about that?”
The fat man looked confused, but still nodded.
As long as he was given food, he would answer anything you asked.
“What’s your name?”
Wan Lei squatted down, holding a bunch of lettuce.
“Kaka.”
Alright, Wan Lei threw the lettuce into the pot.
The fat man wolfed it down.
“Who are you?”
The fat man froze. This question was clearly too profound.
He shook his head, signaling Wan Lei to add more vegetables.
“You get vegetables if you answer a question. What cultivation technique are you practicing? Why can’t you be killed?”
Wan Lei held a plate of fatty beef, a wicked grin on his face, like a villain coaxing a little girl.
“What’s a cultivation technique?”
Kaka was stumped by this question again.
Could this guy have amnesia?
“Uh… do you remember anything at all?”
“Eat.”
The fat man answered quickly and without hesitation.
So you really don’t know anything besides eating.
Wan Lei poured the fatty beef into the pot and continued,
“Have you always lived on this island?”
The fat man nodded.
“Do you remember where you came from?”
The fat man shook his head.
“Do you know anything that makes you different from others?”
The fat man shook his head.
“Fine, he’s really an idiot.”
Wan Lei chuckled and shook his head.
The fat man suddenly extended his palm, all five fingers held perfectly straight.
“What for?”
“Five questions, five dishes.”
You brat… you’re not so foolish now.
Wan Lei directly took out over a dozen dishes and dumped them all into the pot. Then, he gave the others a look and walked towards a distance.
After walking more than ten yards, they finally stopped and formed a circle, discussing in hushed tones.
“Brothers, can anyone figure out what’s going on with this guy?”
Wan Lei asked, looking at everyone.
“I know~”
Bao Bao raised his little hand and waved it happily. Wan Lei had kept his distance from them during the fight, so everyone had resumed their original forms.
“He’s an idiot, only knows how to eat.”
Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes. Can you say something that we don’t already know?
“This guy is quite similar to Dada, both are simple, honest, and love to eat. Their names are also similar, one is Dada and the other is Kaka.”
Xia Yubing looked at Dada and laughed heartily.
“You’re insulting me by comparing me to this idiot.”
“I mean, why is he so bizarre? He clearly has no energy fluctuations within him, nor any cultivation realm, yet he can become stronger when facing stronger opponents. He can exhibit different strengths against different people, and neither the Tai Xu realm nor the Golden Immortal realm can harm him. This is too illogical.”
“In the Sea of Bitterness, all illogical and bizarre phenomena can be explained by one name.”
Squirrel said with a solemn expression,
“Meme.”
“Meme? You mean he’s not actually human, but a meme? That’s not right, memes are infectious. We’ve been fighting him for so long, and we haven’t been infected.”
Fang Xiaoyu raised a question.
“It’s simple. He has intelligence, so he must be from the Weiyang race. And he has been living on this Weiyang race island, which means he knows the other Weiyang people, and they have accepted him.
Moreover, a meme that has developed intelligence can control its own infection. As long as they don’t actively infect others, there’s no problem.
And I think, this meme of his isn’t very infectious, perhaps it can only affect himself.”
“Then what are the characteristics of this meme of his?”
“Unknown combat power, becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents.”
Squirrel said very firmly.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Kaka, the silly fatty who was eating meat heartily, with astonishment again. Was he that amazing?
Wan Qianxin stroked his chin and muttered,
“But he clearly has a flesh and blood body. Look, he eats, he farts, which means he has a digestive system. This is clearly a person.”
“Oh, memes, Weiyang race, they eat everything. If you give him a pile of poop, he’ll eat it too.”
“Ugh, little Squirrel, you’re disgusting.”
Bao Bao pouted in protest.
“What, am I wrong? How did the Sea of Bitterness come about? Wasn’t it formed when dead universes from positive and negative planes were expelled and came here?
These are the excrement of planar universes.”
Squirrel spread his hands to support his theory.
“Then according to you, we are currently on a giant septic tank?”
“Stop talking, it’s starting to smell.”
“So what do we do with this Kaka now?”
“Why bother with him? Leave him here to eat slowly. We should go home.”
As Squirrel finished speaking, he was about to ask Xia Yubing to bring out the spaceship when, suddenly, dense figures appeared in the distant sky all around them.
“It’s the demons.”
Wan Lei looked around and saw the figures at the edge of the sky rapidly closing in.
They were giant steel flying fish, and on the flying fish were many demons, three zhang tall with two horns on their heads, surging towards them.
“Prepare defenses!”
Squirrel shouted. Wan Qianxin and the others skillfully took out their defensive weapons to set up a defensive perimeter. Wan Lei took out some formation materials and began to set up a formation.
He had many formation beads, containing pre-arranged formations, but at that time, he was only at the Nascent Soul stage. The formations he had set up were of little resistance now, so he needed to personally set them up again.
“Why are the demons coming? This isn’t a strategic location, nor is there a military base of the Five Elements Hall.”
Dada shouted while busily setting up.
“I want to fight ten demons.”
Bao Bao was full of fighting spirit.
“There are at least a hundred thousand demons here. They’re all yours, plenty for you to fight.”
